Looks like Brazil’s flirtation with strongman politics is not over. Brazilians seem hell-bent on turning democratic backsliding into a recurring feature. But it's still early in the process. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

It is a very big risk to pin all your hopes for the future on elections in a time when an increasingly powerful and reactionary ruling class is backing far-right candidates with everything they've got. Let's organize so we can keep fighting no matter how the elections go. crimethinc.com/Brazil2026

this is not a problem you can fix with calm, reasoned debate. you can't even fix it by improving people's lives with policy. there is no clear, proven, non-violent solution to this issue. finding one is the most significant problem of our age.

tremors and jaws are both great movies, and Jaws probably succeeds more as a work of horror. but Tremors is actually perfect. an almost unique example of a film executed flawlessly in line with its vision.

Extremely proud of all the Iraqi female (and a number of male) social media influencers and activists who are speaking up against the highly regressive and misogynistic amended Personal Status Law in Iraq. They know that by speaking up they are putting so much at risk, but they are doing it anyways.

Hard to think of a more likable monster movie cast than the one in Tremors. It's my ideal horror-comedy hybrid, one where the jokes come from how fun the characters are rather than subverting any of the tension.

Fellow FTX executive Caroline Ellison is out of jail, and the Manifund effective altruist grantmaking organization has just let slip they hired her. She “brings specific, useful expertise around finance”, they say, which yeah — much in the same way that Bernie Madoff had very specific expertise.
Meanwhile, his fellow former FTX executive, Caroline Ellison, has been free from prison since January, and has now found gainful employment! She will be working for Manifund, an effective altruist grantmaking organization. In a blog post explaining why he hired her, CEO Austin Chen listed first among his bullet points “I specifically enjoyed Caroline’s Tumblr and other writings, which I found thoughtful and relatable.” (This is the blog where Ellison regularly blogged about “human biodiversity”, a euphemism for scientific racism, and wrote, “how do I signal my genuinely sweet and feminine nature on my dating profile? should it go before or after the section on wire fraud”). He also wrote that “Caroline brings specific, useful expertise around finance and systems management to Manifund.”16 Which, yeah, I guess I can't argue with that, in the same way that Bernie Madoff had very specific expertise.FTX essentially bankrolled Manifund and the associated Manifold Markets (think Polymarket but with fake money) through grants and investments. This may explain why Chen, citing a “keen debt” to FTX, decided to hire Ellison and pay her using funds derived from her fraud — money Manifund is currently fighting the FTX estate over rather than returning to creditors.17

This is the dodgiest and most-desperate thing I’ve seen in the bubble so far. Amazon selling their chips to a group of investors and leasing them back - an off balance sheet arrangement done in plain sight. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. And they’ll probably buy more!
Amazon is seeking to offload about $8bn of advanced Nvidia chips to external investors through a new vehicle aimed at strengthening its balance sheet, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Seattle-based cloud giant has held talks with investors in recent weeks to gauge interest in the deal, which would allow the company to spin off thousands of Grace Blackwell chips it is deploying in data centres across the US into a special-purpose vehicle.
Amazon will then lease the advanced AI chips back from the SPV, which would tap outside investors through debt issuance. By unloading the expensive semiconductors to investors, the company could adopt a more asset-light approach to its balance sheet.

I’ve never been in denial about it but I do think today was the first day I truly realized how much antisemitism is spreading and being normalized in online far-left circles. It’s scary and frightening and is only going to get worse if the left insists it’s not a problem.
